When I started hosting book giveaway hops 2 years ago there were not many sites hosting them. They were few and far between. That was the reason I began to host them, there was a need. Now there are lots of sites out there who are hosting hops so I'm doing some reevaluating and making some changes.

I will still be hosting quite a few hops but I'm going to be changing things up a little bit.

I often get asked how I choose my co-hosts and how I decide which hops I host. Honest answer - it really depends. Some asked if I had an opening, others approach me with a great idea, others I approached....

If you are one of the many bloggers who has asked me to co-host in the past or your are interested in co-hosting in 2013 please fill out the form below.

Co-host requirements:You must be an established book blogger who has been blogging for at least 6 months.You must post regularly on your blog (daily is preferred but at least several times a week).You must already have built up your blog following and traffic. Your blog must be family friendly.You must be a regular participant in my hops. (At least one hop every couple of months)You must commit to actively promote the hop. The day before the hop starts and the morning the hop begins you must be available to check blogs and update the linky (this takes several hours on both days).

Please note I only have a few spots open for 2013. I wish I could allow everyone to co-host a hop with me but it's just not possible.
